House BHI (HB) 1437 authorizes the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) to provide up to 25,000 acre-feet of surface
water per year for use in areas of Williamson County, outside the Colorado River basin, with the consent of the Brazos
River Authority (the Authority). Several conditions were placed on the transfer, including that the transfer occur in a
manner that assures "no net loss" of surface water to the Colorado River basin. The "no net loss" provision requires that
new water sources be developed, replacement water from outside the Colorado River basin be transferred, or that
conservation measures be implemented to offset the transfer to Williamson County. Additionally, the water reserved or
transferred under HB 1437 is subject to an additional surcharge, to mitigate the transfer or its effects, of not less than
10% of the applicable LCRA rate for surface water. The surcharge is set by the LCRA Board, is not subject to outside
review, and is currently 25%. The money is to be deposited in a separate "Agricultural Water Conservation Fund" and
the water developed or conserved through the fund is to be used to benefit the water service areas of the LCRA's
irrigation operations. Prior to expending money from the fund, an advisory committee, consisting of representatives
from Colorado, Wharton, and Matagorda counties must be consulted. The committee's responsibilities include
representing the interests of the agricultural producers and helping to ensure that conservation measures achieve the
intended goals.
LCRA and the Authority signed a 50 -year water sales agreement for 25,000 acre-feet of water per year in October 2000.
In 2004, an engineering study and public meetings were conducted to develop an implementation plan to meet the "no
net Toss" provision. The study evaluated 18 altematives using primary and secondary screening criteria. In evaluating
the alternatives, several risks were included such as length of the contract and the uncertainty of the water demands
provided by the Authority. As a result of the engineering study and public meetings, the recommended program
included reducing agricultural use of surface water, and planning and implementing agricultural irrigation conservation
projects, as well as providing grants for the implementation of conservation projects.
Several changes have occurred since the water sales agreement was executed and the LCRA HB 1437 Plan
implemented. These changes include revisions to the water demand projections, changes to the entities purchasing the
Williamson County water from the Authority, implementation costs and funding options, and additional knowledge has
been gained on the implementation and effectiveness of water conservation strategies.
In 2009, the City of Round Rock commissioned a separate study to identify a suite of altematives to satisfy the no net
Toss provision of HB1437. This study identified 29 alternatives, many of which were not considered under the 2004
implementation plan engineering study. Fourteen of the identified altematives were recommended for further
consideration.
The Authority and the HB 1437 water customers desire a better understanding of the Tong -term financial impacts of the
"no net loss" requirements and potential projects that may serve to satisfy the provision. The ultimate goal of the project
is to prioritize potential replacement strategies to meet the intent of the "no net Toss" provision considering capital costs,
annual operations and maintenance costs, amount of water to be conserved/developed, implementation schedule, and
obstacles to implementation. The project will be conducted in two or more phases, which each phase serving as the
basis for scope development of the next phase.

Page 2
The following outlines the Scope of Services for Phase 1 of the HB 1437/No Net Loss Project
1. The KFA Team will conduct a Kick -Off Meeting with the Authority and Customers to review the scope of
services. Discuss roles of the Authority, Customers, and KFA team members. We will clearly define
deliverables and discuss the project schedule. We will also discuss potential factors that may be important to
the Authority and Customers in reviewing and assessing the "no net loss" requirements and potential projects.
Meeting location is assumed to be Georgetown or Round Rock.
2. Obtain and review relevant data for the study. Data include, but are not limited to, existing reports, studies, and
models pertaining to HB 1437 and the water strategies evaluated. Existing and proposed agreements,
contracts, policies, and demand projections will be reviewed and tabulated, as well.
3. Develop base mapping to be used for evaluation, presentation, and reporting.
4. Organize and tabulate replacement strategies previously implemented or identified. Tabulation will include
metrics used to evaluate and prioritize strategies. Identify known changed conditions or previous metrics used
to evaluate previously identified replacement strategies.
5. Review the approved 2011 Regional Water Plans for Regions K and G. Summarize recommendations for
identified recipients of the HB 1437 water and agricultural users in Colorado, Wharton and Matagorda Counties.
Summarize assumptions used in the 2011 regional water plans to assess the water supplies for these users.
Identify if these assumptions differ from those used in previous studies pertaining to HB 1437.
6. For strategies with changed conditions, update water supply quantities, implementation issues and costs. All
costs will be developed to the same metric.
7. Provide an Interim Technical Memorandum to the Authority and Customers summarizing the information
developed under the above tasks. Meet with the Authority and Customers, following review of the Interim
Technical Memorandum, to determine factors to examine as part of the evaluation of potential water
replacement strategies and identify stakeholders and metrics that can be used to evaluate and compare the
water replacement strategies.
8. Using the previously identified replacement strategies, identify a preliminary set of replacement strategies,
including new conservation and supply means to be considered using the factors developed under Item 7.
9. Work with the Authority and Customers to refine the replacement strategy list and evaluation factors. Identify
any additional information or tasks that may be required to prioritize potential replacement strategies to meet the
intent of the "no net loss" provision. Meeting location is assumed to be in Georgetown or Round Rock.
10. Prepare a report documenting Phase 1 of the Project for review and comment. After incorporating comments,
the KFA Team will prepare a Scope of Services for Phase 2. One final meeting is assumed.

PURPOSE. PASSION. PROSPERITY;
City Council Agenda Summary Sheet
Agenda Item No. 1106.
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement to Share Costs with
Agenda Caption: Brazos River Authority regarding Lake Travis Water engineering study.
Meeting Date: May 26, 2011
Department: Infrastructure Development and Construction Management
Staff Person making presentation:
Item Summary:
Round Rock currently has water under contract with the Brazos River Authority (BRA) that was made available under
HB1437 that allows up to 25,000 acre-feet of water to be transferred from the Colorado Basin to the Brazos Basin.
Of the 25,000 acre-feet, Round Rock has 20,928 acre-feet of this water under contract.
Because there is currently a 25% surcharge on the contracted water from Lake Travis, the City is working with the
BRA and the Lower Colorado River Authority on commencing with a study to identify ways to offset future rising
water cost as a result of No -Net -Loss from the HB1437 water.
The BRA and City have selected K. Friese and Associates to assist with developing options that will allow the BRA and
Round Rock to return water to the Colorado Basin to meet the No -Net -Loss requirement. Upon receipt of the
various options, the BRA and City will then evaluate the next steps in pursuing the options that could ultimately limit
future rising water costs to the City.
The contract will be between the BRA and K. Friese for a contract that is a not to exceed amount of $100,000.
Round Rock agrees to pay to the BRA 50% of the costs associated with the study.
